I will leave it up to you to figure out how to use a protractor. I'll give you one hint, I believe he is using the bar rail as a reference though.

So you have no idea either???

Yes, I have a good understanding of what he is doing because it's obvious.

That was a good illustration Philbert, got to save that one for sure.

 

[WolfMann]

Marshy, I didn't know it was called a machinists protractor, thanks for that.

 

[WolfMann]

And I think he's got the chain resting in the grinder groove with the protractor sitting on the edge of that as a reference.

But the markings on the protractor line up/indicate what?

 

[WolfMann]

The top plate cutting angle, but you've got to use your minds eye to draw out the lines a little bit.

 

[HarleyT]

OK.......

 

[HarleyT]

Sorry about the wiggly lines, but most of this get the idea.

Which one?

 

[HarleyT]

My mind's eye does involve a fair amount of alcohol, but bump me in the right direction....

 

[HarleyT]

Wait!!!
I see it now!!!!

 

[HarleyT]

I apologize in advance if it is obvious, and I just don't see it.

But if someone could point this out,
I would appreciate it.....

 

[HarleyT]

Basic questions shouldn't send the site morons into a "tizzy".....

This help?

I believe that the original photo was just to show the items used for measurement, not necessarily how to use it for a specific measurement.

[WolfMann]

I think Philbert hit the nail on the head.

 

[WolfMann]

Wait!!!
I see it now!!!!

Kind of like that little protractor on the back of the sharpener? Indicating the angle of the grinder wheel?
LOL!!!
